Johnson wouldn’t offer any specific endorsement of coach Rex Ryan, who is on the verge of missing the postseason for a third straight season. The Jets are 5-7, having lost three straight after alternating wins and losses the first nine weeks.

“We make those decisions after the season,” Johnson said. “It’s really the direction of the team and how the young players are going, . . . It’s a complicated thing. At the end of the day, you want to give players the opportunity to win, which is what I think we’re doing.”

Johnson described the Jets’ defense as “amazing,” and said rookie quarterback Geno Smith was “learning so much.”

“I think you’ll see him get better and better and better,” Johnson said. “I have a lot of confidence in Geno. When he gets better, I think you’ll see others [on the team] get better.”

Perhaps so, but Smith hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass since Oct. 20, and has eight interceptions since then. Sure, he’s a rookie, and isn’t blessed with great weapons with which to work.

But if Johnson truly thinks things are on track, it might indicate the primary problem there.

Ugg… I feel bad for the Jets sometimes, I do. An owner whose name is “Wood Johnson”, a coach with an obsession with feet that borders on the absurd, a quarterback that’s over/under is higher that he’ll throw an interception than a touchdown.

At some point, I just can’t laugh anymore, and I just start to feel bad. You guys will get through this..

Are you Kidding Me?…. I’m not a Jets fan, and never will be, but WTF… They are the biggest “Joke” of the league. Their coach is a Clown………………………And their owner is obviously a empowered over inherited ding bat. They make news all the time. Too bad it’s not about football. It’s about the circus that is the Jets.

Sell the team…..This guy does not have a clue! These reporters are even worse. After that statement; why wasn’t the next question:
You’re happy being almost last in the league in almost every aspect of the game with the exception of stooping the run?
